Are you tall?

Being 6 feet and beyond makes you more inclined to shmupitudinous behavior.

I'm the tallest person in my circle of friends at 6' 2" (189cm). Everyone else ranges from 5' 4" to 6' or so.

There sure seems to be a lot of tall people on this forum though... Interesting

I am a rather modest 176 cm tall for a Chinese boy. It's nice if a girl doesn't have to jump to give me a kiss on the cheek.

...but I suppose it doesn't matter since no girl wants to kiss me on the cheek in the first place.

5'8.5, that's pretty tall for a girl except I'm not a girl ;~;

ED-057 · Post by **ED-057** » Sat Oct 18, 2008 8:48 am

I'm...just barely 5'5" (143 cm).

So 5'5" is only worth 143cm now? The ramifications of the US financial collapse are wider than I thought.

I'm 5'6", which is fine because I plan to hook up with 菅野美穂 and populate the northern hemisphere with adorable short people.

Take the metric vengeance of my 1,75m!
I know a few guys which are taller than 2m.

Maybe if your country had kept the good system you could rule the world diplomatically, economically, culturally, scientifically, and militarily too

Also, 21 out of the 22 people who posted their height did so in inches. Go USA!

6'4" or 193cm. I've started charging to "reach" things for people.

I'm a shorty. Like a kid. Like a sky kid.

Since Canada & Australia (among others) switched in the 80's, it's pretty safe to say just almost everybody still uses them. Although I was taught the metric system at school, at home my parents talked about feet and inches for everything. Then you play football, everything's in yards... These "archaic" measurements will stay around for a long time in places where they were recently abandoned.

On a side note, lots of guys around here are tallish.

Edit: Typo.

Being a tall shumps player is bad news when playing stand up shumps cabinets because at the end of the game, you feel like a Hunchback.

I posted it in inches for the Brits. And just because of your "Go USA" comment I'm going to post it in cm. I'm 196cm! There! Take that!

This might have been more fun as a poll with small incriments and conversions...

I'm fairly average where I live. Due to my arrogance, I can't stand girls that are slightly taller or older than me.

Jon · Post by **Jon** » Sat Oct 18, 2008 6:02 pm

Not too tall at 5 feet and 10 inches (177.8 cm)

One may get the impression that the shooter forum is quite tall, but with its title, I think there may be heavy self-selection in the members posting in this thread.

Same as Bay. Just under the six feet mark. 179 Cm I think.
